| ss multi-ch. amps vs multi seperate amps any adv. Hi Bacardi - I have no direct experience with Wyred 4 Sound, so I can't offer you an opinion. Sorry.I can certainly see the appeal in multiple mono amps. But I agree with Summitav's comment that...Unless you are going to be building the SOA $40k m... | |
| ss multi-ch. amps vs multi seperate amps any adv. To me, an important consideration is the question: What is the best use of your available funds? I suspect that investing in multiple amplifiers isn't.Given the processor you are using, I would say that a good multichannel amplifier would be the b... | |
| Best Preamp processor I can recommend Meridian. I use the G68 for both music and movies, and I've been very happy with it. The 861 would be even better.In my system, I use both the G68's digital crossover and its room correction, neither of which degrades the sound qua... | |
| Summertime ss amp Question Oops. Just read Elizabeth's post and your reply to it, which addressed my suggestion. | |
| Summertime ss amp Question ... fit into 17 X 8 X 19 inch space in Stereo closet and run cool, budget under $2K used.Is it possible to take the $2k that you're going to spend on a amp (that will most certainly not compete with your wonderful Atma-Spheres) and instead spend i... | |
| Sonos Products I use Sonos in my computer based system, including the handheld Sonos controller. I am very happy with it.But, as the other posters mentioned, there are issues with sound quality of Sonos. To begin with, I would avoid using the dac in the unit, an... | |
| Is the color in the amp , the preamp, the souce? Is the color in the amp, the preamp, the source?To add to my earlier post, and to address the OP more directly: I think there is a general consensus among audiophiles that colorations exist in every component in the system. Perhaps the greatest co... | |
| Where do you have your rack? I currently have my rack in a ventilated closet just outside the listening room. After battling mechanical and airborne vibration for years, I have finally won.The closet is just behind the wall with the speakers, so I have a 15 foot speaker cable... | |
| Is the color in the amp , the preamp, the souce? Baxter178 - Lots and lots of issues are raised by your post. It's obvious you have asked these questions in earnest, so I hope fellow A'goners will keep that in mind when responding (I've noticed things have been a bit volatile around here lately)... | |
| Speaker footers – Ugh I have used a variety of footers under speakers. The ones I got the best results from were Outriggers and the various Black Diamond Racing cones/pits.Unfortunately, there is only so much that can be learned from reading about these kinds of produc... | |
| Imaging and Detail. ...a system that distorts the distortion in recordings that include distortions (like fuzz guitar for example or certain synthesized sounds) may not sound very good. There is nothing worse and perhaps even harder to detect than distorted distortio... | |
| Imaging and Detail. Why does everyone put such emphasis on all this detail?By detail, I take it the OP means resolution, or perhaps accuracy, both of which have been discussed in the posts above. Although I am an audiophile who values both resolution and accuracy,... | |
| Who has found happiness giving up cd player? I have found happiness giving up my cd player. I use Sonos and an Empirical Audio reclocker, and I've been very happy with the sound quality. As for the convenience, it can't be beat. When I listen to music, I like to sit in the chair and stay the... | |
| Upgrade rack before Vibration Control? I recently upgraded my rack to one of Steve Blinn's. It does an excellent job reducing mechanical-borne vibrations. I do use other vibration control products in combination with it, but in my case it's probably overkill. If I were you, I'd get the... | |
